The best defensive forward of the season is Ryan O'Reilly of St. Louis Blues. O'Reilly's rivals were Patrice Bergeron ("Boston Bruins") and Mark Stone ("Vegas Golden Knights"). Bergeron had already won the Selke Trophy four times and, if he won, he could become the league record holder in terms of number of awards.
O'Reilly scored 77 (28 + 49) points in the last regular championship with a utility score of "+22", and his club beat Boston in the Stanley Cup 4-3 final. This trophy was the first for the "bluesmen" who joined the NHL in 1967. During this period, they made their way to the National Hockey League Championship final three times – for the last time in the 1969 / 70. Then "St. Louis" dry lost the final series against "Boston" – 0-4.
